Re: MN/ND/SD SyTy/GN race gathering
Cheap shot. But that is the real reason our Ty's getting trailered.
Ralph better be ready to bring it or the PIG's gonna walk all over him. Actually, the PIG may not have its crossover back before the 4th, so tuning time is going to be scarce. Solid boost control should do wonders for it, though.
How many TySys have you gotten so far? Sunni booked us for friday and saturday night so if you're gonna be free friday night, we can start the party early. We'll bring the 3.2% alcoholic beverages

Re: MN/ND/SD SyTy/GN race gathering
Considering mine's in a bazillion pieces, I probably shouldn't talk either.
We'll definitely bring the Hoosiers for it, then you can throw a 15 psi launch at it.
It's all good. I might try to find a set of E/T streets for it... if I can leave with 8-10 psi,
it should run the hi-11s.
I take it you found an external WG?
Not sure if Paul and the other local guy are coming... we will see. Should be at least
4-5 of the SyTy, and maybe as many GNs/T-types.
Why mess with 3.2%, when you have 85% on board?
I won't be there until 1:30 ish on Saturday. If ya wanna come and get the WB Friday
night, you sure can... there's plenty of roads south of town where you can test.
Use the raw WB patch for this one... the NTK has a different curve than the DIY WB
or the other units. I really should create a patch for my own stuff.

Re: MN/ND/SD SyTy/GN race gathering
It's Sunni's birthday on August 9th so I figured what girl wouldn't want an external wastegate? I actually whined enough and she okayed the deal. The crossover's in Cali with Mike getting a minigate.
That's cool. I'd hate to be the only Ty there and have others judge all Typhoons based solely on mine...
It doesn't start until 2:00, correct? I'm guessing gates are opened before that?
I'll see how the Ty runs with the new wastegate and decide how much more tuning I need to do after that. How about I just drop it off at your place friday and pick it up saturday after you tune it into the 11s?

Re: MN/ND/SD SyTy/GN race gathering
That'd be good, except I won't be around until about 1:00 on that Saturday.
I can always bring Damien's Ty out on a trailer, if you're worried about being alone.
My bet is that gates will be open at noon or so, haven't been able to get many details.

Re: MN/ND/SD SyTy/GN race gathering
More info from the ISD web site...
Saturday Agust 6th
2:00pm to 8:00PM
$30.00 Per Participant
$5.00 Spectator
"Street Legal Thunder" Rules Apply
Sunday August 7th
11:00AM to 5:00PM
$30.00 Per Participant
$10.00 Spectator
"Street Legal Thunder" Rules Apply
Plus:The show you've been waiting for:
The "Midwest Wild Bunch" is back!!!!
8.50 & Quicker to Qualify!!!
"Do you have what it takes?????????
I imagine the increase in spectator gate is to cover the prize money for the Wild Bunch.
Note the time change for Sunday!
Basically, both days are test-n-tune/grudge racing. On Sunday, the wild bunch guys will
run some time trials and their class as well, but that won't cause a big time loss unless
we get an oil-down or something.
The wild bunch is fun to watch... there should be more than a few 7-second cars there.
I'll keep updating with the weather forecasts and stuff, but it looks good so far.
See y'all there!
(Aside: got my block and crank back... no way I'll get it running before Saturday, tho'.)

Re: MN/ND/SD SyTy/GN race gathering
I don't think I have what it takes...
The wind coming from the north on saturday and saturday should make it feel pretty good up there. Camping shouldn't be too bad at all.
Once I got my block crank back, it only took me ~3 years to get it racing again. Hopefully you'll get it done a bit earlier than that
My wastegate will be here today. Perfect test-n-tune weather, too
Is Ralph starting to feel the pressure of our showdown yet? You got any tricks to psych him out at the line?

Re: MN/ND/SD SyTy/GN race gathering
AM temps have been in the mid 60s, so it's not bad sleeping. Been kinda humid,
hopefully that clears out.
I'm the Buick pilot, so it's my legendary concrete-curing reaction times you'll be dealing
with.
I'm hoping to get it back together aound the october time frame. Gonna take the L35s
in and get guides put in, I feel a bit better about running screw-in studs than the press-ins.
$6.50/ea to get guides done.
.030 over, deck the block .020, hot tank, polish the ugly out of the crank, and drive in
new cam bearings came to $281. Eagle Rods, TRW pistons, parts, gaskets came to
~850.
Another $80 for guides (+ 100 for used L35s) and I'm at $1300. That's without a cam,
lifters. I'll have $1600 into a mild build. If I need to freshen the trans, I'll have another
$200 there.
It's a 'spensive hobby. Good thing I do my own labor, I'd have to mortgage the house.

Re: MN/ND/SD SyTy/GN race gathering
The sunday forecast looks great, but they keep messin' with the saturday forecast. Still looks like it'll be okay, though.
Well I was hoping for a bit of a challenge. I can't say I've ever seen you win a race that factored in reaction time I just ripped off a 13.9 @ 75 with the Ty, so you better be on your game...
Anytime you rebuild a SyTy engine for less than the cost of a good lawnmower, I'd say it's money well spent. Switch her over to E85 and you'l have that $1600 back in about 3 years

Re: MN/ND/SD SyTy/GN race gathering
Yeah, there's another $300 in injectors. At least I don't have more into it than I paid for
it.... yet.
I think I can get around a 13.9... it runs a 12.8 with a 2.0 60 foot, and that was hitting the
rev limiter on the 1-2 and 2-3.
We should be able to get a better tune into it than a 13.9...
